Lou Clark and Will Traynor don’t know each other, but a job loss and a motorcycle accident bring these two unlikely people together in this romantic novel penned by British journalist Jojo Moyes.

“Me Before You is a love story and a family story, but above all it’s a story of the bravery and sustained effort needed to redirect the path of a life once it’s been pushed off course,” Liesl Schillinger wrote in her New York Times book review.

After its 2012 release, the book received considerable praise, finding itself on the top of Britain’s best-seller lists.
